A&M-Hoss Meet in Finale
SWC Standings
Remain Uncertain
By JOE CALLICOATTE
The Texas Aggie basketball team will end their regular
season of play tonight as they meet the Arkansas Razorbacks
in Fayetteville, but what happens after that still remains to
be seen.
Whatever happens tonight, one thing is definite—Texas
Tech will get a share in the Southwest Conference crown even
if they lose to Texas in Lubbock.
If history had a bearing on tonight’s game with Arkan
sas, A&M would have a much better chance since Coach Bob
Rogers’ teams have beaten the Razorbacks five out of seven
times during the four years Rogers has been at A&M. How
ever, it is a well-established fact that the Razorbacks are
among the “toughest” on
their home court.

IFK Orders
Creation Of
Peace Corps
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON—President Ken
nedy Wednesday ordered creation
f f a Peace Corps on a temporary
bis and asked Congress to make
it permanent. And he cautioned
ftose who want to join that their
life will not be easy.
The volunteer Peace Corps,
Kennedy said, will provide a pool
Americans—mostly young men
‘id women—to go overseas and
“help foreign countries meet their
lr gent need for skilled manpower.”
"embers of the corps, he said,
’"ill go only to those countries
?l iere their services and skills are
nuinely needed and desired.”
Applicants will be screened care-
%, he said, “to make sure that
''se who are selected can con
fute to Peace Corps programs,
I have the personal qualities
ch will enable them to repre-
f the United States abroad with
.fir and dignity.”
feation of the corps, espoused
Kennedy during the presiden-
campaign, was announced at
news conference. He said he
doing so on a “temporary
1 °t basis.” And he sent Congress
"essage asking that it be made
ermanent organization under
' State Department as part of
" e mutual security program,
v’nnedy said he hopes to send
'■ first members of the corps
Aerseas by late fall and hopes to
Mve 500 to 1,000 in the ^ield by
^ «nd of the year. Within a few
i^rs, the President said, he hopes
£'>ral thousand will he working
Jreign lands.
Last week it was my privilege
to address a group of students of
the earth science at the giant col
lege located in the gently rolling
country known as the Brazos Bot
tomland.
It is an institution which has
produced some of not only the na
tion's but the world’s' noted geol
ogists and engineers. For in
stance, the petroleum ministries
of almost every country in South
America included geological engi
neers with Texas A&M degrees.
The subject of my talk at A&M
was purely non-controversial. I
confined my remarks to unusual
and amusing incidents which oc
curred during the significant oil
boom at Spindletop in 1901.
Non-Controversial
While this totally non-contro
versial talk got a respectable re
ception and produced a few laughs^
the questions afterwards were on
subjects such as the proposed Na
tional Fuels Policy, percentage de
pletion, imports of oil and con
servation.
Not only were the students and
instructors interested, but they
demonstrated even more under
standing than you can find in an
average audience of oilmen in
some kind of convention assembled.
Their reaction to my answers
(which I think would have irriated
and aggravated a Harvard assem
bly of the same type) was sym
pathetic and intelligent.
Prior to the meeting I was the
guest of a group of students and
professors in the engineering and
geology schools for dinner and it
was there that I was able to de
tect a healthy attitude toward na
tional problems, constitutional
government and the future of the
world and individual freedom.
There was none of that pseudo-in
tellectual stuff that I had been
led to believe was enveloping the
atmosphere of our great centers
of learning today.
Intense Interest
It is true that both the young
men and their instructors con
veyed an intense interest in better
human relations and a more in
telligent approach to some of the
overwhelming problems of the day,
but I was impressed with their
attitude toward the particular type
of Harvard professor who seems
to be trying to impose his wild
economic notions on an unsus
pecting public. The A&M earth
science men don’t look on this with
great favor, but they do take it
with a grain of salt.
They agreed that what was hap
pening now in Washington with
Harvard professors was probably
temporary and that as soon as the
President discovers what a pre
dicament they will get him into
with the whole public that he will
gracefully ease them out.
But there was no criticism of ;
President Kennedy for selecting
these cronies from his Alma Ma
ter. They concluded that it might
be as if Rep. Olon Teague (a Tex
as Congressman with a degree
from A&M) had been elected Pres
ident and surrounded himself with
a coterie of Texas Aggies for ad
visors. They hoped, however, that
“Tiger” Teague’s team would do
less harm to the Constitution and
might, therefore, last longer.
The point to all of this is that
of Texas A&M is an example of
the average college campus in this
country today, someone has been
misleading a lot of us about the
pink complexion of both profes
sors and undergraduates.
Besides being the last game
on A&M’s schedule, tonight’s
contest will be the finale for
four Aggie seniors. Elliott Craig
is the only man who came to A&M
as a Fish and gone on to win him
self three varsity letters. Pat and
Don Stanley came in their junior
year from Kilgore Junior College,
and their latest accomplishment is
a berth on the All-SWC second
team. Wayne Arnett is the fourth
man that finishes tonight as he
came from Paris Junior College
the same year that the Stanley’s
did. All three of the junior college
transfers have started for the last
two seasons.
As for what else that will be
happening in the SWC tonight and
what will result from the out-
Texas Tech leads by a game, but
if it' loses to Texas, it will be tied
by fhe winner of the Arkansas-
A&M game. If A&M wins at
Fayetteville, there would be a one-
game playoff on a neutral court
to determine the NCAA contender.
The reason for this is because
A&M and Tech split in their two
conference meetings.
D. Stanley
But, if Arkansas should beat
A&M and tie Tech for the title,
then Tech would automatically get
the NCAA bid because it beat
Arkansas in both games.
However, Tech can do away with
a playoff of any kind, if it wins
over Texas because it would be an
undisputed champion.

Flooding Rivers Ravage South
Mighty rivers on a late winter rampage surged through
south-central sections of Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi
Wednesday, leaving wide trails of muddy ruin amounting to
millions.

Russians Give Hess Privileges
WIESBADEN, Germany—Rudolf Hess, Hitler’s former
dputy, gets special treatment from the Russians in Spandau
war crimes prison, the newspaper Weisbadener Kurier said
Wednesday.
It said Hess is allowed to leave his cell for as long as 24

where Soviet headquarters in East Germany are located.
program, lasting 38 minutes, in
cludes feats of perfection in ar
tistic motion on stage.
“Point On Jazz” is a refreshing
new ballet and the group’s world
premiere. The music was written
by Dave Brubeck, with choreo
graphy by Dania Krupska. Scen
ery and costumes were designed
bv co-director Oliver Smith, of
“My Fair Lady” and “Camelot”
fame.
Ballerina Stars
“The Combat,” lasting 18 min
utes, provides the ballerina with
opportunities for technically bril
liant drmoing and emotional act
ing. The ballet is William Dollar’s
intensly dramatic work, and the
score was written by Italy’s Raf-
faelo de Banfield. The striking
scenery and costumes are the pro<
ducts of Georges Wakhevitch, sen
sational new French designer.
“Pas De Deux” is also an intri
cate, graceful ballet presenting the
full talent of the young performers
devoted to performing ballet in
the most classical style and per
fection.
The American Ballet Theatre
holds many firsts in its records,
and for many years has been the
true representative of our country
in the field of ballet.
For example, it was the first
American ballet company ever to
perform in Russia, having accomp
lished this only last year. In 19G(\
the group gave 35 perfomances in
six weeks, and an estimated 118,-
000 Russians saw them in four
cities.
High Prestige
Through its constant work in
building artistic perfection in per
formances, the American Ballet
Theater has gained high interna
tional prestige and status un
matched because of its diversified
repertory in both classical and con
temporary ballets. It holds an
established record for perform
ances in 235 American cities in
48 states at home and in 37 coun
tries abroad.
Ninety-six ballets have been pi
duced by the American Ballet Th
atre, and 31 were given the
